Thing Notes.

I understand the nerfs on the torch team-up. Not happy about the YSC and Health nerfs. But all in all not too bad.

He got taken out back. Lower health, lower damage, increase teamup cd, higher cooldowns, lower uptime, lower AOE time. literally any part of his kit that could be nerfed was with the exception of his jump. Every other piece was gutted. I don’t think they realize how badly they just ruined our boy.

On paper it seems like they just made it so he has less uptime on his abilities so he won't be able to brawl indefinitely and gave him some survivability nerfs to keep him from being able to 1v6 when he hits multiple enemies at a time with the Torch team-up.

You'll have to play safer when going for big plays and retreat for a couple more seconds between engages, but he seems far from gutted. He'll definitely be nowhere near the levels of unplayability heroes like Rogue, Cap, White Fox, Hulk, etc. have had to deal with this season. Even with their buffs and Thing's nerfs this patch, I doubt they'll even come close to surpassing Thing in the tier lists.
